===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
POEM WRITER
The POEM WRITER is a special word processor designed to help the novice
write rhyming poems by presenting a variable width word processing
screen with various supporting information, including a rhyming
dictionary, a method to remember rhymes selected from the dictionary, a
method to remember the metric feet being used for each line, and
various on-screen data such as the current file name / path and
cursor line and column numbers. The width of the editing screen is
easily changed to fit the width of your poem, as are the colors you may
wish to work in if you have a color monitor. You also select from a
menu to Save, New, Load Print, Delete, Options, and eXit. A separate
program, POEMINST.EXE, also accessible from the POEM WRITER menu,
provides a brief poetry tutor, detailed program installation and
operations instructions, and how to Register this SHAREWARE program.
If you prefer to use your own word processor, and have the ability to
switch programs with a hot key (ie/ Windows or OS2) you may prefer to
use the companion RHYME FINDER program, listed under Registration.
Copy all program files to a separate directory, ie/ POETRY, change to
that directory, type POEMRITE, and press Enter. (Use of a hard disk is
optional, but will provide much more rapid rhyme retrieval.)

===== Installation =====================================
The POEM WRITER program contains the following required files:
POEMRITE.EXE The main program
POEMINST.EXE The instruction and tutoring program
USER.ID User identification
xx.1 15 single rhyme files, ie/ a.1, ah.1, at.1, etc.
xx.2 and xx.3 30 additional double and triple rhyme files
(requires registration and ordering)
WorkFile.POM A work file poem. All poems you create and save
will have a DOS filename and .POM extension
ReadMe files, etc., are not required for operation of the POEM WRITER.
To install copy all files to the directory of your choice, ie/ C:\POETRY
(Use of a hard disk is not required for the Unregistered Shareware
version, but makes rhyme file recovery much faster.)
To start the POEM WRITER program type POEMRITE and press Enter.
A separate instruction and tutoring program, POEMINST.EXE, may be
reached either before starting the POEM WRITER by typing POEMINST and
pressing Enter, or from within the POEM WRITER program by selection of
Instructions from the Menu.
The POEM WRITER program is a single line editor word processor, designed
for use in writing rhyming poems whose length is usually substantially
less than a normal page width. It does not word wrap.
If you would prefer to use your own word processor, and if you have an
ability to "hot key" change from one program to another, (such as is
available in the use of MicroSoft Windows or IBM OS2) then you may wish
to order the companion program, RHYME FINDER. This program uses the
same rhyme files and search system as the POEM WRITER, but does not
include a word processor.
To operate it you first load the RHYME FINDER program, then you load
your word processor and start writing. When you need a rhyme you simply
press the hot key(s) to switch to the RHYME FINDER, and follow the same
proceedure that is used in finding rhymes in the POEM WRITER.
For more information see ORDERING within POEMINST.EXE or by going to
Instructions from the menu within the POEM WRITER program.
